\n

An independent review of hydraulic fracturing in British Columbia showed there is a “robust” regulatory framework governing fracking \u2013 but it also offers some firm guidelines on how to ensure that practices continue to evolve. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ernst & Young carried out\u00a0the report<\/a>, which is\u00a0the second recent impartial review to find B.C.\u2019s regulatory framework is well designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report did not report any gaps in BC’s regulations – but it did identify areas to strengthen the approach already in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consultants offered three “high-level” recommendations for future evolution of the regulatory regime that lies at the heart of British Columbia’s ability to get its natural gas to overseas markets in the form of LNG:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Enhanced data collection and analysis capability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Ensure that the Water Act and the upcoming Water Sustainability Act adequately cover water usage and offer increased protection for water use and protect ground and surface water from contamination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Update or modify regulations covering induced seismicity and flowback water containment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The provincial government said it would accept the recommendations, including the strengthening of permit provisions. The government said many of the report\u2019s recommendations overlap recommendations of the human health-risk assessment process and are already being addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
